| الملخص: | Introduction: The optimal way to deliver results of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) of suspected pancreatic masses is unknown. Some centers receive preliminary results the day of the procedure but only convey final results to patients, and some centers do not receive preliminary results. Our center receives preliminary results, and provides these results to patients in the recovery area of the Endoscopy center prior to discharge. The aims of this study were to 1) learn patients' preference for receiving EUS FNA results, and 2) for patients who receive preliminary results, determine if they remember accurately what they were told. |
